Blueberry Pancakes and Blackberry Sauce: Recipe

Ingredients:

Refined flour - 3/4 cup

Oat meal - 1/4 cup finely powdered

Flax seed - 1 tbsp powdered

Brown sugar - 2 tbsp powdered

Egg - 1 large lightly beaten

Baking powder - 1/4 tsp

Baking soda - 1/4 tsp

Low fat milk - 1/2 cup

Low fat laban (or buttermilk) - 1/4 cup

Salt - a pinch

Fresh blueberries - 2 to 3 hands full

Vegetable oil - as required

Fresh blackberries - 10 - 15 nos

Castor sugar - 2 tbsp or more

Method:

First prepare the blackberry sauce:
Take the blackberries and sugar in a pan. Add little water just to cover the fruit and boil. Press the fruit with the back of a ladle to release the juices and simmer until the sauce starts to thicken. Set aside.

For the pancakes:
Mix all the dry ingredients - flour,oatmeal, flax seed,baking
powder,baking soda, sugar; with a wire whisk to blend everything
together. Remove any lumps.

Add the laban, then egg, followed by the milk - add it gradually and mix well to form a batter with slightly thick consistency.

Heat a non stick pan and rub a cube of butter / few drops of vegetable oil on the surface to grease it slightly.

Scoop a
ladle of the batter and pour it into the centre of the pan. If the
consistency is right the batter should spread slightly to form a small
sized pancake.

When bubbles start appearing on top, flip it and let the other side cook. Both the sides should be golden brown (take care to cook the pancakes on a medium - low flame so that it cooks well and does not burn).
